China News Service, January 8th. According to the Greek "China Greek Times" report, a new type of fraud occurred in Greece a few days ago, and a businessman in Karpathos was unfortunately deceived.
In the Zozekanissos Islands (the Dodecanese), such fraud crimes have frequently occurred recently.
It is understood that in the incident, the scammer pretended to be the local deputy mayor and called the deceived entrepreneur, claiming that they wanted to order some products.
Later, they asked the merchant's bank account number, pretending to remit payment.
But it didn't take long before they communicated with the merchant again, claiming that they "accidentally" wrote an extra 0 in the remittance amount, which means that the remittance amount has increased tenfold.
Taking this opportunity, they asked the other party to refund the difference to the designated bank account.
In this way, the scammer successfully defrauded 6,750 euros.
After the businessman discovered that he had been deceived, he immediately lodged an accusation with the local police station.
The police are trying to find out the true information of the scammer through the remittance account.
This case has constituted a crime of fraud against strangers.
